just don't use it for anything you'd rather keep private, i guess...
for what it's worth, I've been able to use the chromium daily builds without any problems for about 6 months :)
Stores passwords in plain text on disk: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25404&... I noticed that detail when I was trying out Chromium a while back, and it still hasn't been fixed. It seems like a simple but basic security feature. I don't know what else isn't done yet, but it does make me worry. No guarantees that Firefox isn't doing similar things I'd object to, but I don't know about them, so…
What's the alternative? Even if it encrypts the password before storing them on disk, the encryption/decryption key are necessarily on disk anyways, no?
I have no idea if Windows has a password manager, but I don't know why it wouldn't.

How do you get developer tools working? I'm using PPA builds as well, and I have no access to dev tools. Tried launching it with some flags and still no luck. Can't find documentation anywhere :/
To get to the firebug-ish dev tools, right click and select "Inspect Element", or pull down on the "Control" menu (top right) and you should see a Developer menu.
I'm pretty sure I can't Inspect Element on my ubuntu build either, but I will try it when I get home.

take a look in synaptic, searching for "chromium" and you'll find that there is a separate package for the dev tools
Great...looks slick and runs fast...but with comments like this ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/12/07/schmidt_on_privacy/ ), how can I trust it?
In all reality however google is no more evil than telephone companies that allow the government to place wire taps on lines or datacenters allowing the government to take the private server your website is on.
